What owners wrote
While driving at approximately 65 MPH rear brakes locked, and the brake light on the dashboard illuminated and began flashing. The driver had difficulty steering the vehicle. It went into a spin ,causing the rear of the vehicle to hit the concrete divider. Also, the steering column broke when the brake module broke. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. The engineers could not find a problem.
Vehicle parking brake randomly comes on without warning and causes car to try lock wheels even when driving. Sometimes when first start the parking brake is locked even if I don't use it and will unlock when start rolling. Vehicle has multiple misfire coeds and restricted performance and loses power for no reason. Also dangerous when driving in traffic. Not sure what issues is but has new plugs and coils and everything so believe electrical issue
